Whitecaps FC Academy forward Frixos Petsas has been called up again to the Cyprus U-17 national team for 2020 UEFA U-17 European Championship qualifying.

This is the third call-up for Petsas this year. The ‘Caps striker was previously called up for the Belkin Cup in August, where he scored two goals versus Croatia, as well as a call-up for two friendly victories over Armenia in September. Petsas is the only player for Cyprus called in from outside of Europe.

Cyrpus are in Group 5 and are hosting this round of qualifying at GSZ Stadium in Larnaca, Cyprus. They will face Slovakia on October 22, France on October 25, and Gibraltar on October 28.

Should they finish top two in the group, they will automatically advance to the final round of qualifying. The four best third-placed teams from the 13 groups will also advance.
